Munchkin’s birthday party was an American Girl Molly Mystery party. She decided that she wanted her Molly costume to be Molly as Miss. Victory. Munchkin’s pink birthday skirt was the trial run for this costume. We had purchased a pattern for a skirt, but once I got it home, I realized it was way too complicated for the time that I had. I decided to just design my own. This was the end result….

It’s hard to believe that by the beginning of next week our little Munchkin will be 11. I’m not sure how that happened. She’s still our little girl, but she’s growing up… Munchkin hasn’t had a birthday party with friends for quite some time, so we decided that this year she would get to have a birthday party.

So, this is what I came up with… You can’t tell it from the picture, but the ruffle, pockets, and ties are in light pink. I used the same pink material to…

Knowing how much Munchkin enjoys having special things for her AG doll, I thought that it was fitting for her doll to have pj pants that matched our Christmas pj pants. I decided to make these while she was outside playing with her friends in the back yard. On Christmas Eve, when we open our gift of pjs, Munchkin will also be receiving a surprise gift of pjs for her doll. (We’re all wearing red t-shirts to go with these pants. Thankfully, she already has a red shirt for her doll that I was able to slip away without her…
